Chapter 3: The World
"It's still KFC delicious!" Xu Shuang nibbled on the fried chicken thighs in his hand while squeezing tomato sauce on the fries. As he ate, he cocked his chair and looked back to see what his roommates were doing.
Gao Zhen crossed Erlang's legs to read a novel on his mobile phone, Zhou Mi was browsing a video website, and Lin Haiming had already gone out to accompany his girlfriend.
"Hey, no more games to play? It's finally the weekend, and you're just doing these boring things? Xu Shuang chewed something in his mouth and spoke vaguely.
"What's so much fun? Even Reboot II has been opened, and it feels like there are no more games in the world. Zhou Mi said.
"Nonsense! Are you at full level? You're not at full level, talk a fart! Xu Shuang disdainful.
"You're not at the full level yet. In the end, the bosses were killed, and there were no opponents, so I felt that there was nothing to pursue. It's better to learn. Zhou Mi said.
"Learning? Learn a fart! There's also a PVP mode, won't there be an intramural competition next month? Let's take part as a whole team in our dorm? Xu Shuang took a bite of the secret hamburger.
"I'm not interested in PVP." Zhou Mi said and closed the website and opened the class handout.
"I've heard that there are some interesting mods on the Internet, why don't you play with them next?" Takazu suddenly proposed.
"Yes, yes! Yesterday my friend shared a mod website for Reboot II to me. Xu Shuang rubbed his hands and opened the browser.
The so-called MOD is the abbreviation of Modification, which is translated into Chinese as "game mod", which is a modification or enhancement program for the game.
"There are a lot of game mods made by players on this site, so let me see the ones with high ratings."
"Star Wars Mod, Added New Class Jedi, Map Expansion ......"
"Marvel Heroes mod, new classes, new items, new plot ......"
"Jin Yong's martial arts mod, added the martial arts skill system ......"
"League of Legends mod, added MOBA game mode ......"
"Onmyoji MOD, added a new class Onmyoji, Shikigami summoning system ......"
"What the hell are these, I feel so stupid." Xu Shuang smacked his lips, rolled the mouse wheel, and flipped down.
"Wow!" There was a sound, and a pop-up window popped up, covering Xu Shuang's screen.
"Grass! Spam ads! Xu Shuang scolded, and was about to fork off the pop-up window, when he was suddenly attracted by the words on the pop-up window.
"New Reboot II Mega Mod - World! Restore the world scene one by one! Experience the 'second spring' of life in the game! Click the link below to download it now! ”
"Yo ho, this is kind of interesting! Restore the world scene one by one! The second spring of life? Xu Shuang clicked on the link on the pop-up window with interest.
A promotional video pops up on the screen, showing several players running their game characters running on the Great Wall, battling monsters in New York City, fighting the awakened Cthulhu at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and more.
"Holy! Awesome! This is a master, this is a master! There's also such a mod, that's it, I'll install it right away. Xu Shuang said excitedly.
"What?" Zhou Mi was attracted and looked away from the lecture handout.
"It's a world mod that makes your game exactly like Earth." Xu Shuang explained.
"Fatty, I believe in your vision, and you can put one on my computer later. I'll go take a shower first. Gao Zhen handed over the laptop to Xu Shuang and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.
"Learn, learn a fart! Brother Shuang, give me the whole one too! Zhou Mi said.
"Hey, it's fun to think about!" Xu Shuang rubbed his greasy hands and said.
After taking a shower, Gao Zhen hung a towel over his shoulder and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as I came out, I saw that the fat man had already started to create new characters in the game.
To create a new character in Reboot II, you need to pinch your face, and then choose your class.
Xu Shuang took another insulting ID - your brother, the profession is still his favorite magician.
He was now pinching his face with relish. Although others are very fat, with more than 200 pounds, the characters they pinch out are absolutely perfectly proportioned. The silver hair is very aggressive, and the height of 1.8 meters is even more aggressive.
Sit back and go to your computer and create a new character.
He clicked on the familiar eye icon and found that because of the mod, the eyeball inside the eye icon had changed to the shape of a globe. The name of the game has also been changed to "Reboot II World".
He still used the ID of "High Pillow Mountains and Rivers" and set up an account and password. After the account is set up, the face pinching interface and career selection interface will pop up.
Gao is lazy and doesn't want to spend hours pinching his face, so he opted for a new technology, which is to take a picture of himself with his laptop's camera, and then the computer will automatically generate a character in the game that looks like you.
After taking a photo, a character who looks very similar to himself appears on the computer screen. He is 1.76 meters tall, with fluffy black hair, a high nose bridge, and godly eyes...... It's a little handsome.
When it comes to careers, the options are plentiful. Not counting the classes that players join themselves, Reboot II offers dozens of basic classes. Most of these professions have a Western magical color, and only a few are related to Eastern culture.
One of them is the profession of immortal cultivator. I love this profession for ten minutes, because it is so varied, it can not only refine elixirs with various effects, but also forge your own magic weapons and immortal weapons. In terms of combat, immortal cultivators are also particularly flexible. It can be used as a functional support and can be used to support the team members with a variety of items. It can also be used as an output of powerful immortal arts, inflicting mass damage on enemies.
Gao Zhen no longer hesitated, and chose "Immortal Cultivator", and his understanding of this profession can also be said to be perfect.
After the selection, the image of the high pillow on the screen also changed. His hair slowly lengthened, some of it was tied up in a bun at the top of his head, and the rest hung down to his shoulders, with a fairy air. The clothes on his body also changed, turning into a pale blue robe, which fluttered in the wind.
"Brother Pillow, you recommend it to me, what profession is it good to play, I don't want to play kendo this time." Carefully seek advice from Taka Pillow.
"Mechanic!" After a moment of reflection, he replied, "Mechanics are very useful in this kind of mod. ”
"Sounds good, I'll try." Speaking of which, Zhou Mi also created his own new character, Function Derivable, Mechanic.
……
"The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear; And the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown. ”
At the beginning of the game, such a sentence appears on the screen, and a strange voice acting rings in the headphones, giving people a creepy feeling.
Then a CG animation of the game was played, and at the beginning of the birth of the world, the indescribable ancient gods descended on all parts of the earth, and slept underground and at the bottom of the sea. Thousands of years later, these sleeping ancient gods were awakened one by one and returned to the world, and all kinds of monsters and demons also escaped from hell, bringing catastrophe to the earth. Unwilling to be destroyed in the catastrophe, mankind has waged war against the evil gods. The faith of these unwilling human beings is to defeat the evil gods and restart this devastated world.
Once the animation is over, the game really begins. The immortal cultivator appeared on a sandy beach, and next to him stood the magician your brother and the mechanic function guide.
"Where is this?" The fat man asked curiously. He shakes the mouse and controls the character to look left and right, and finds that the beach is on one side of the endless blue sea.
"Probably a small island in the sea." Gao guessed.
